Rarebit: Welsh Soul Food from a Memphis Restaurateur’s Family Recipe

Welsh Rarebit

One of Kevin’s favorite holiday dishes is one that his Irish mother used to make for him when he was a kid; it was a sauce of melted cheese and other savory ingredients poured over or served with toasted bread. “From Ireland, my mother brought over cuisine from the British Isles that helped warm the body,” says Kevin. “One of those dishes was Welsh rarebit. Simple, tasty, and cheesy — what more could a young boy want after a cold day working on our small farm?”

This concoction is so good, its cheesy, savory goodness knows no borders. Image: Visit Wales
